…give to God what is God’s.
—Matthew 22.21
Loving One,
I confess: all day long,
and even in my quiet morning prayer,
I am obsessed with myself:
what I have to do:
roles to play, tasks to accomplish,
the way I “ought” to be.
Instead I surrender to you all thought of myself,
and gaze on what you are doing in me.
I am not the Movie of Myself.
I am the hushed theater where you appear.
May I clear the stage
for you to tell your story,
and hold the silence in which you sing.
